Gifted Guru - Updated Location

The Gifted Guru

Due to the overwhelming response, the venue has been changed to accommodate more participants. See new location below!

Nationally known GT speaker, Lisa Van Gemert, will present her program, "Emoting 101" for Douglas County GT parents and community members. This is our annual joint program with the Douglas County School District's GT office.

The workshop will focus on embracing the idea that gifted children need to be seen as whole people, not merely a high-ability brain leading parents through the fundamentals of what research tells us about the importance of emotional intelligence and how we can build it. Using contemporary studies and pertinent anecdotes, this workshop will have parents learning more about themselves and their child.
